Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing wire comprises a first elongate cylindrical tube having an aperture at one end thereof and a blocking wall at the opposite end thereof. A second elongate cylindrical tube is positioned within said first tube, said second tube having upper and lower apertures at each end thereof. A length of flexible wire is coiled to a diameter greater than the outer circumference of the second tube and within the inner circumference of the first tube and one portion of the wire is extended from the lower aperture of the second tube and through the upper aperture of the second tube. The second tube extends through the aperture in the top portion of the first tube thereby allowing the second tube, and the wire contained therein, to be extended outwardly from the first tube aperture and accurately positioned adjacent to a work area. In accordance with a further embodiment of the invention a third elongate cylindrical tube may be positioned between the second tube and the length of coiled wire.
